I also don't understand how they can't manage to figure out affordable means of entertainment in the year 2024. Epic gives you 1 or 2 free games every week and has been doing so for years at this point. I just checked, I have 467 games on EGS and I have spent a total of like $20 on the THPS remake. Free games still get handed out every now and then on Steam. 6 of the top 10 most popular games right now on Steam are Free to Play.
Libraries exist. Every book ever written in the history of mankind is free. There are like 10 different free ad-supported streaming services for movies and TV. Spotify and Pandora exist. Internet radio exists. Regular fucking radio exists.
You could easily spend an entire lifetime consuming media in your spare time and not spend a single fucking dollar on it and still have an embarrassment of options to spend your time with.
Beyond the entertainment shit, it's like every last one of them is so fucking lazy that the mere concept of existing as an adult is too much for them to handle. Your parents think you're a mentally ill queer because your pronouns are plurals? Move out you dumb attention-grabbing whore, you're clearly not getting the right type of it at home. Find one of your utopian communist co-ops you sperg out so much about and live with your fellow 21st century hippie morons. Meat is murder and you're not an enabler of climate change so rice and beans will do you just fine.
Can't afford rent? Find roommates. I just checked and even most fast food chains offer health and dental. Need a phone? Congrats, you can buy cheap phones that aren't $1000 iphones for $100 that will function as a phone and basic internet tool. You can supplement that with a basic Google Fi subscription for $30 instead of paying Verizon $100 for unlimited porn downloads over 5G. Don't have a car? You can walk two hours to and from work, or buy a bicycle until you can afford a 10-15 year old used Honda or Toyota that will do the trick. Every one of these is a bottom of the barrel solution to bottom of the barrel problems. Their real issue is that they want $1000 graphics cards, $300 anime figurines, and $300 in subscription services while not being fucked to even stock shelves at a Target.
Late stage capitalism indeed.
Hey now Ech, leave some criticism for the rest of us!
